American workers face many challenges today when it comes to planning their financial security for their retirement years. The questions surrounding the future of Social Security and the reduction in employer-sponsored pension plans have led more and more people to look for their own options when it comes to retirement. Scott Credit Union IRAs can be the answer to some of those tough questions regarding your future retirement income. Whether your goal is to defer taxes, save for your child’s education, or simply to prepare for retirement, we have the IRAs to meet your needs. If you are changing jobs and need to rollover your 401k into an IRA, we can help!
We offer two ways for you to grow your Scott Credit Union IRA Account.
IRA Share Account
Our Traditional IRA Share Account allows for you to earn 0.30% APY1 on balances of any amounts. There is no minimum balance and no monthly maintenance fees. It also gives you some flexibility if you would need quick access to the money.
IRA Certificates
These allow you to invest your IRA funds into different certificates terms from 1 year up to 5 years. Typically, you will earn a higher rate with a longer term IRA. We also offer a higher rate for higher balance accounts. View all of our IRA Certificate rates.
Choose the Scott Credit Union IRA that is right for you.
Traditional IRA
These are best if you would like to reduce your taxable income now, and you don’t plan on making withdrawals until retirement. You don’t pay taxes until you take money out, which typically occurs after you are retired and in a lower income tax bracket.
Roth IRA
You would like more flexibility for withdrawals, you want the ability to grow your contributions tax-free, or you plan to work past the age of 70. Roth IRA contributions are taxed before your contribution, so you don’t have to pay taxes when you take your money out of the account.
Education Savings IRA
An ESA IRA is a savings arrangement in which contributions are invested for the purpose of funding a student’s education. Contributions are not tax-deductible, but they may earn interest tax-deferred until distribution.
